Flour Load-Out Facility Vung Tau, Vietnam

Project Description:
GENERAL ARRANGEMENT DISTRIBUTION
SUPERSTRUCTURES
Krech Ojard was hired to design 110’ grain intake and distribution towers for supporting mass scales, distribution heads, conveyor head and tail sections, and sorting screens to support ship unloading. Design was accomplished using JIS metric
standards and materials and included vibration analysis. Preliminary design reactions of both towers and truss bent
reactions were provided to accommodate early fabrication of concrete piles.

SHUTTLE CONVEYOR DESIGN & 3-D MODELING
Additionally, KO structural and mechanical groups teamed to design a truss supported 150m long tripper conveyor with integral shuttling cross conveyor designed to fill 96m wide bulk storage bays with various grain commodities. Krech Ojard created fully integrated 3D models of the conveyor to simultaneously resolve interferences, create fabrication drawings and part take-offs. 3D modeling combined Imperial and Metric based designs to allow for simultaneous
fabrication in US and Pacific venues.
